Everbody who knows anything at all knows the
C&C 27 is a joke of a boat.

It's small, it's lightly built, it uses cheap fittings,

Unlike the Coronado which gets the "cheapest construction" nod from Don Casey:

it's slower than a well-sailed Coronado 27, it isn't

But the Coronado PHRH is 230, while the C&C is 180 for the Mark 3.

even half as seaworthy as a Coronado 27 and I
could go on and on. The poor little C&C 27 was
knocked out of a mold on the cheap as a day
sailer and entry level round the buoys pretend
racer. It has no heritage, it has no class, it has
no real value.

That's not what the review says:

Almost 1000 C&C 27s were made in a 12 year run. The Coronado 27 only had a 4 year run
before the company went belly up.
